    People aren't naturally talented at math my ass. This kid is a shining example that like any other skill, it's a combination of natural talent and hard work.

    Some people might say it is impressive, but I weep at the dumbing down of our universities so much that even a 14 year old can graduate with a physics degree nowadays.

    Not sure if srs. A genius 14 year old got a physics degree. Not like it's happening all the time.

    This guy has heart, passion and desire. This is who we should replace James Harden with.

    Found a link that said BS in Physics but then the article you linked said "concluded with a general chemistry II exam." which is only required for the BA. Anyone know the answer?

    He also graduated in 4 years so 124 for a BS, an additional 18 hours for a chinese minor, an additional 6 hours for a math minor another 3 hours for freshman Chem II he took for some reason. That's 19 hours a semester but he reportedly took 14 his first semester so around 20 hours per semester for the rest without summers which aren't available for higher level course but obviously taking ChemII his final semester he spread the course load out.

    Impressive workload for sure but after doing the math we should NOT replace Harden with this guy.
